Marine Corps Hymn Power

Ron Sandburg of Bixby, OK, came by the store the other day. He has installed one of the horns on his scooter. Just after entering the doorway he plays it. You know.... the women in my office just do not appreciate the positive benefits of hearing the Marines' Hymn at high decibel levels. So I took his picture and here he is.

Cpl Ron Sandburg is a WWII vet.

2nd MarDiv, 3rd Bn,
10th Marines, H Btty.
Saipan - Tarawa - Tinian

Ps: I forgot to add that he likes to play his horn in malls when people will not get out of his way. Says it really gets peoples attention.
